Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Not long after, the maid's voice came from outside. Cuiping stood outside the door and asked quietly: "Have the young master and the young mistress woke up?"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Chenchuan's dissatisfied voice sounded: "Go down!"

Lu Yun, who was standing beside Cui Ping, stuck out her tongue, and soon heard Lin Yuxi's shy and angry voice: "Come in!"

After receiving the order, the two pushed the door open and went in. Yang Chenchuan was still lying on the bed, glaring at them. The two shuddered and lowered their heads to their chests, not daring to look at him again.

Lin Yuxi had already gotten out of bed and was getting dressed. She gave him a funny look, and the latter pouted his lips in grievance, but remained motionless.

Luyun and Cuiping helped Lin Yuxi wash up and then left. The young master didn't like maids to get close to him, so usually it was the young mistress who served him. The two of them were tactful enough to give them space and went downstairs to set breakfast.

She walked to the bedside, held Yang Chenchuan's hand, and said, "Husband, get up. After breakfast, you have to pay your respects to mother."

"Give me a kiss and I'll get up." Someone bargained.

Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes, really speechless about this scoundrel, she shook off his hand and said angrily: "Huh! You didn't even rinse your mouth, it stinks!"

When Yang Chenchuan heard this, his face darkened. He even blew a breath into his palm and sniffed it. His face darkened even more. He glared at the woman and said, "It smells so good, how can it smell bad? You stinky girl, how dare you despise your husband!"

As he said that, he jumped up from the bed, quickly grabbed Lin Yuxi and gave her another scolding, blowing air on her neck and tickling her, causing her to cry out.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble!" Lin Yuxi patted his chest, finally stopping his noise, and helped him wash, dress, and comb his hair. Before leaving the room, she still gave him a few kisses.

These days, they have been eating Zui Furong's dishes, but the kitchen still supplies three meals a day as usual. Lin Yuxi also sent Cuiping and Luyun to pay more attention to the kitchen to see if there are any suspicious people.

Sure enough, Cuiping didn't think there was anything suspicious about the kitchen. Sometimes she would go and chat with the cooks when they were busy preparing the meal and there was nothing unusual about it.

All the food sent from the kitchen was packed up and tested by a doctor, and was found to be non-toxic.

There are not many people in the backyard, but there are also not few either. It is not easy to find one person.

If all the people were replaced, it would alert the enemy and it would be hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be people who were bribed in the next batch.

They already knew that it was the Second Wife who was behind this, and now what they lacked was evidence. They were waiting, waiting for that person to strike again. This time, no matter who it was, no matter how eloquent she was, she would not be able to escape.

At the dinner table, Yang Chenchuan considerately picked up a piece of shrimp dumpling for her. Lin Yuxi also acted like a good wife and fed him a bite with her own hands. Just as they were talking in a sweet voice, a little maid came in from outside and whispered a few words into the ear of Chunlan who was guarding the door. Chunlan nodded and walked in.

"Master and Madam, the maid from the Second Madam's courtyard just reported that today's greetings are in the Old Madam's courtyard."

Hearing this, Lin Yuxi paused for a moment and hummed softly. Yang Chenchuan seemed not to hear her and continued to pester Lin Yuxi to feed him breakfast.

When the two arrived at Songhe Hall, except for the men and the second wife who was under house arrest, everyone else who should be there was there.

The two of them went up and greeted each other. The old lady glanced at Lin Yuxi and frowned slightly. She was dissatisfied with the fact that all the elders had to wait for them, but she did not scold her.

The old lady sipped her tea while the eldest lady put down her teacup, cleaned her mouth with a handkerchief, stood up gracefully, lifted up Lin Yuxi's sleeve and looked at her carefully.

Lin Yuxi just stood there and let her look at him. After turning half a circle, she frowned slightly and said softly, "You are indeed a little thinner."

She rolled her eyes secretly. Trouble was coming. Usually, such an opening would be followed by a lot of difficult words.

If you want to make trouble, just do it. Why make it difficult for yourself by pretending to be worried?

She bit her lip and didn't respond. Besides, it was hard for her to respond. Was she going to say that Liu had abused her for more than ten years, or that she didn't have enough to eat in the Yang family?

No matter what she said, she would not get any good response. It looked like they were going to find fault with her, and if she responded, it would play into their hands.

So she lowered her head and closed her mouth tightly.

The second wife frowned slightly and stared at the first wife in confusion, with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

At this time, the old lady had already put down the teacup, glanced at Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan lightly, then set her eyes on the second wife and said:

"Although my Yang family has no worries about food and clothing now, it is not a long-term solution for Chuan'er to stay idle at home. While he is still young, he should find a job and make plans for the future. Chuan'er left home early and has never even attended a proper academy, let alone the imperial examination. With his martial arts skills, he can only be a military officer at best. However, the court has always valued civil officials over military officials. No matter how high the position of a military officer is, he is always inferior to that of a civil official."

The Second Madam seemed to have thought of something, her eyes slowly darkened, and she looked at Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan thoughtfully. Lin Yuxi caught her fleeting look of relief and listened to her.

"I am unfilial and have made you worry. I will write a letter of divorce to you right away. Chuan'er has been smart since he was young. If he follows you and your brother, he will definitely be successful in a few years."

"How dare you!" The old lady was furious. She slammed the small table fiercely and glared at the second wife, scolding:

"What do you mean by this? You want my descendants to engage in business. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are ranked last. It would be fine if you were a merchant yourself, but you are so short-sighted as to ask my grandson to become a lowly merchant. Although my Yang family is not a big family, we will not degenerate to engage in business. You are ruining your son's future."

Lin Yuxi was a little surprised that the old lady would say such a thing. Since she valued status so much, why did she welcome the merchant girl into her family?

Ever since the last incident, she had no good feelings towards the old lady. Now, after hearing what she said, she was even more disgusted with her.

If she looks down on the Second Madam, isn't that the same as looking down on herself?

After all, the reason why the Yang family is what it is today is all thanks to the merchant's second wife and the Jiang family. They got the benefits and forgot about their friendship. They were typical people who burned their bridges after crossing them. She despised them in her heart.

The Second Lady sneered at the old lady and said, "Since you look down on merchants, everything you wear and even your food is bought by merchants. You are a man of integrity, so why do you wear these mundane things?"

Lin Yuxi almost applauded the Second Madam for her simple words. Isn't it true that those self-righteous people look down on merchants, yet flock to those merchants' goods and their thirst for money, otherwise they would not have taken away the Second Madam's dowry.

They are all ordinary people, and everyone loves money. It is not a shameful thing, and no one is more noble than anyone else. But some people are so conceited that they insist on pretending to be something extraordinary, and are not afraid of being scared by their ugly mouth corners when they wake up in the middle of the night.

This type of people includes the old lady, and Lin Yuxi despises this kind of people the most.

But the Second Madam is a daughter-in-law after all, and she will probably get no good results if she talks back to her elders like this.

Sure enough, the old lady pointed at the second wife with a trembling hand, and after a long while she finally said a complete sentence: "Kneel down! Is this what your parents taught you? You are talking back to your mother-in-law. You really want to piss me off to death, right?"
